ADF and Skins

I am trying to modify a JSF page using ADF skins.
While the modification works for most of the other artifacts, the changes (changing the font to bold and color change) are not getting reflected for menus.
If I do these changes directly(making the font bold or changing the font color) for the menu instead of the skin it works.
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0
Any insights are appreciated!!

Have you tried using the skin editor?
open your css with the integrated skin editor and check the menu selectors. You should see the changes directly in the preview window.

Problem with a example of "Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins"

Hi, I've tried the example "Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins", but when I run the sample.jspx page and choose the skin "MyCompany" in the select skin I obtain the next message:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.laf.simple.desktop.SideBarRenderer._getIconData(SideBarRenderer.java:393)
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.laf.simple.desktop.SideBarRenderer.prerender(SideBarRenderer.java:83)
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.BaseRenderer.render(BaseRenderer.java:79)
Could somebody help me?
Thanks a lot ;-)

Hi there,
I had the same issue last friday.
It's probably because you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 instead of 10.1.3.0 or 10.1.3.1 for which the example is made.
I haven't been able to fix this yet, other then by commenting out the this part of the css.

Problem in Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins sample

sample.jspx dose not have “Select Skin” box as the document shown.
I am trying the sample project downloaded from sample WAR file - adffaces_skin.war in article “Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins”.
In paragraph “Changing the Color Schema of a Skin”
sample.jspx has a “Select Skin” box to allow user to select “Simple” or “MyCompany”. (in JSP Visual Editor)
However, it does not show on the project built from downloaded from sample WAR file (adffaces_skin.war).

After reading the whole document, I realize it is my mistake.
The box will be created after all user skins setting.
The sample works.
Only thing need to remind is for later version Jdeveloper, Application Worksapce in only for early version Jdeveloper. All the version after 10g 1.3 EA1, Only have Application.

ADF Faces Skins Not Working

I can't seem to get my ADF faces skins to register at all. I have a css file, an adf-faces-skins.xml file, and a <skin-family> element in my adf-faces-config.xml file, but to no avail.
One possible hint--I think I might not be getting access to the appropriate XML namespace in my adf-faces-skins.xml file. I can't, for example, get code insight to work there ("No insight available"). I'm using
<skins xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfview/faces/skin">
which looks like it's right out of the help. Am I missing a library of some sort?
Thanks much,
Avrom

Yes, I have, and I don't see anything I've done substantially differently from there--with the exception of adding a new version of Faces to my project. I assume I don't have to do that if I'm using 10.1.3 Production (the HowTo says it's a "more recent" version of Faces, but it was written against EA 1).

Customizing Oracle ADF Default Skins

Hello,
My JDeveloper Version is 11.1.2.1.0. R2
Is there any tutorial about Customizing oracle adf default skins. For Example I want to change some CSS Properties of "Simple" Skin. I know I can change some properties by using Inline styles but it is not good
way.
I have started reading this tutorial but I think It is complex. Is this not. Is this also for Release 2.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16764_01/web.1111/b31973/af_skin.htm#CHDBEDHA
Thanks

Thanks Sir for Reply,
Dear Sir I Know How to work with skin editor and how to apply skins to project and I did it. But Sir I want to use Oracle default Skin by Little Modifications to It. For Example If I use "Simple" skin
by changing skin family to "simple" it works fine but how to edit this "simple" skin for customizations.

[ADF] One Skin, Multiple Applications

Hi,
I was wondering what the "best practice" is to have one skin for multiple applications. Ideally I'd like to be able to make a tiny change in the main skin and it changes the look and feel for many apps.
Is that even possible? I'm using standalone OC4J for the time being.
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
I would think that setting
<style-sheet-name>skins/mycompany/mySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
in the adf-faces-skins.xml fiel to an absolute directory (instead of relative) does the trick. However, this makes your application less portable because you bind it to a specific directory structure

ADF and WebCenter 11g libraries upgrade paths for WLS 12.1.3

We want to upgrade one of our WLS from 10.3.6 to 12.1.3.
(1) The application hosted on this instance uses the following ADF and WebCenter libraries (also deployed on the same WLS). Please confirm if these can be deployed in WLS12c without any changes or if we need to check on an upgrade path to ADF or Webcenter 12c components as well:
adf.oracle.businesseditor(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain.webapp(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.dconfigbeans(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration.model(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.management(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.model.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.view.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.webcenter.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.composer(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bi.jbips(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bpm.mgmt(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.webcenter.composer(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.webcenter.skin(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.wsm.seedpolicies(11.1.1,11.1.1)
orai18n-adf(11,11.1.1.1.0)
(There are other libraries too but not anything related to ADF or Webcenter)
(2) We also have EM extension template in WLS 10.3.6. How can we upgrade this? Do we need to delete this and install FMW infra 12c with the additional DB schema and then try to extend the 12c domain?

Moved your thread to the WLS Communities since you are not asking if products are certified.
Thanks,
Lisa Fedynich

ER: ADF Faces Skins: "Unknown pseudo class:alias"

Hi,
I'm trying to create an ADF Faces Skin, by overriding aliases in my own CSS file.
The code editor, however, is hilighting the word "alias" every time I use it (as in ".AFDarkBackground:alias") in red, and the error "Unknown pseudo class:alias" appears both on a popup and in the Structure Pane under "CSS Errors." Is Can I ignore this, or am I doing something wrong? Do I need to import some base CSS that defines the pseudo class? The sample from the HowTo doesn't seem to, but then it shows up with the same CSS Errors.
Best,
Avrom

Changed topic title to reflect request for enhancement farther down.

Thanks!
I think I'll edit the title of this to contain ER: ... it would be very nice if it were possible to turn off this bit of validation. I can imagine varying degrees of "smartness" for such a feature--from a manual "accept simple desktop pseudoclasses" option to automatically checking to see if the CSS is listed in an adf-faces-skins.xml file or is imported by any CSS files that are.

Need help with af:column and skinning

Hallo,
ADF Faces and skinning is in general a great opportunity to get projects done - thx for this.
- I use a af:table with af:column with sortable="true".
- This works great, but the customer want's to have the icon for sorting to the left side of the label.
- I have created my own skin for this and can change the sorting icon, but I cannot place it to the left side of the label:
af|column::sort-ascend-icon {
content:url(/skins/espa/sort_ab_h.gif);
Has anyone done this? Is this possible?
Thx, Willi

Looking at the source gives a clear picture - it can't be done.
Now I am switching over to less comples jsf components and additional implementations.
Thx, Willi

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE
Let me know.

ERRORS in the Lab - Developer Day: Oracle ADF and Fusion Middleware Dev

I atteneded the Developer Day on Oracler ADF and Fusion Middleware Development on 11/19. I did the lab (following step by step instructions) and encountered the following errors:
1) Export to Excel (Step 4, actions 5-9) - Got run-time 500 error when run app. I had to skip these steps to be able to continue with the lab.
2) Click on Printable Page (Step 4, action 16) - I looks like it works, but nothing shown up on the browser or printing actually happened.
3) Click on Create Insert (Step 4, action 26) - Got Java.Lang.NumberFormatException
4) There is no lab for mobile application development. Where should I start? [getting mobile plug-in software, lab tutorials]
The instructor said that I could post any questions on the Forum. I hope that this is the correct Forum to post these types of questions. Thanks much in advance for your responses.

Perfect, I get the exact same page when I login, however, this page doesn't have any links to the actual sessions. If I remember correctly, after logging in another window used to open in which we could select the session to play.
Please let me know how I can access the session from the page that is displayed after logging in. Thank you for taking time to check, appreciate your help.

Oracle ADF and Oracle Applications

Hi All,
Can we use Oracle ADF with current version of Oracle E-business suite (R11i 2 in my case)? Or we need to use only OAF and ADF can be used only for future release of Oracle ERP?
It will be great if someone can list the benefits of OAF over ADF for Oracle EBS 11i 2. I want to convince the customer that ADF is not safe or not a good platform for the customizations in current release (R11i 2) and even for next immediate version (R12).
Thanks in advance,
CAH

Hi,
I don't think ADF can be used with Apps 11i,it can be user in R12(this is my understanding), if you want to run ADF pages from Apps then these pages should be located on External server and you can access this as an External Application.
As far as customization is concrened, it can't be done using ADF only new Applications be developed in ADF and if you are planning to develop some custom application in Apps then ADf will be a good choice as migration to 11g will be easier(but it will not support Apps specific features like KFF, DFF, Attachments etc.)
Please check Metalink Note 563047.1 on metalink for this and you can check some articles on this www.apps2fusion.com and Mukul's Blog.
I hope you will get some clear picture on this.
Regards,
Reetesh Sharma

Oracle ADF and OAS licencing

Hi all,
I have been doing a research on JSF component, ADF and ADF Faces for our project. I have found some intresting things that
ADF faces(donated to Apache by Oracle) is free but it is only for front end (not complete) as of ADF.
ADF is more promising and good frame work. ADF is free to be deployed on OAS. but i am unable to find pricing for Oracle Application Server is it free ?.. and what is the price for Deploying ADF on Tomcat or other Open source Servers...?.Can i get this information I need it urgently. Thanks..

Hi,
the Oracle AS licence depends on the edition you want to use. I suggest to get in touch with a local sales office to get the pricing information.
ADF Faces / ADF deployed to 3rd party servers has a licence cost of 5k USD per CPU (at least this is my latest information. So you better check this too)
